Might be dead, dead. Get the bat checked first before you go off buying a starter..

But if it is the starter, go to NAPA and get one.

or go online if you wish

Also try to shift through all your gears and then try to start in N. May need to cycle through gears once or twice to rule. out NSS

Dukie has an amazing write up on no start diagnostics. Its in the write up section. Yall should check it out

What I do is smack my starter with a hammer once. It it starts its a bad starter. But as stated above. Could also be a dead battery or neutral safety switch
